Bengle Naga
Species: Capsicum chinense | Origin: UK | Pungency: Super Hot
Bengle Naga is a variety that was discovered growing in a UK greenhouse as an off-type amongst a crop of Bhut Jolokia plants. The strong and prolific, medium-tall plants don't grow as tall as most other superhot varieties do and have a somewhat spreading growth habit. The elongated, conical-shaped chillies have the typical pimply skin texture (rough exocarp) that one would expect from a superhot variety and start light green and ripen through orange and then to fiery red. Described by some as having a bubblegum-like flavour, Bengle Naga chillies have a strong fruity aroma with faint floral undertones and a tropical fruity flavour and are great for spicing up Indian curries and other weird and wonderful spicy concoctions. In my experience, this variety requires a long growing season because the fruit takes quite a while to reach full maturity.
